title: 'sparsecommunity: Spectral Community Detection for Sparse Networks'
version: 0.1.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.sparsecommunity
abstract: Implements spectral clustering algorithms for community detection in sparse
  networks under the stochastic block model ('SBM') and degree-corrected stochastic
  block model ('DCSBM'), following the methods of Lei and Rinaldo (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1214/14-AOS1274>.
  Provides a regularized normalized Laplacian embedding, spherical k-median clustering
  for 'DCSBM', standard k-means for 'SBM', simulation utilities for both models, and
  a misclustering rate evaluation metric. Also includes the 'NCAA' college football
  network of Girvan and Newman (2002) <https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.122653799> as
  a benchmark dataset, and the Bethe-Hessian community number estimator of Hwang (2023)
  <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2023.2223793>.
